Owning a car is expensive. There's the cost of insurance, tax, maintenance and petrol.

But, if you live in London, you also have to worry about parking it.

And in west London, a parking space could cost you the price of a house.

Because this space has gone on sale in South Kensington for a whopping £390,000.

Yep, it'll cost you more to buy a safe place to park your Lamborghini than you actually spent on the Lamborghini.

To be fair, it's a 'spacious triple bay' - so you could probably fit three of your supercars in. But for almost £400k we would be hoping for a lot more than a bit of floor to park your motor.

It's not just any old parking space. This one boasts "an exceptional location" in an "exquisite" underground parking development in South Kensington - with valet service and 24 hour security.

Pricey, but this isn't an isolated case. In Hill Street, London, you can get a little bit more for your money with a fancy DOUBLE parking space "arranged as a self-contained garage" within an underground car park - for £375,000.

What could £390k get you elsewhere in the country?

If you fancy having, well, a roof over your head, then your money might be better spent elsewhere.

...and best of all, the house comes with "a large triangular garden plot with oversized detached garage and off-road parking for five cars". FIVE cars!

If you're looking for something with a bit more character, you can snap up a Grade II-listed cottage in Neston, Cheshire, for £389,950.

The early Victorian build has only got two bedrooms, but comes with large gardens, a sun room and a very long driveway - think how many cars you could park on that!
